HOT!HOT!HOT! PRESENTS

B Movies Live!

It’s November 1964: In a Long Island studio, a hot mess of performers film the new science fiction movie… ‘Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster’. Martians have arrived on Earth with the sole purpose of kidnapping WOMEN! to continue the breeding stock of their dying planet!

In barely 90 chaotic minutes, as scripts fly, these DIY trashbags bring the 60s B-grade movie to life with rubbish props, costumes, special effects, terror, fallen pieces of popcorn, and then they destroy it all over again.

Bris-Vegas icon Kristian Fletcher launched B MOVIES LIVE in 2016. A staple of his hometown’s cult cinema and retro music scene for over 15 years, he’s dabbled in promotions with the legendary Suzi Quatro, even performed alongside Courtney Act and The Veronicas; and legendary film director John Waters dubbed him “an ambassador of cult movies”. www.kristianfletcher.com

THOUGHTS FROMTHE ARTIST

I noticed a trend was happening in the USA – musical adaptations of classic B-grade films. Rather than singing zombies, I wanted to create an immersive theatre piece. Strip the movie back, take away the screen, use the original screenplay as a starting point, and build a live show from there. It would be a show which harked back to children’s pantomimes where you boo-ed the villains and applauded the heroes.I have a fondness for these 50s and 60s B movies and our treatment takes a tongue-in-cheek look back at a different time in movie making. – Kristian Fletcher
